1t is announced that a foot race for heavy
stakes will occur at the tair grounds next
Saturday afternoon between DR.. Stevens
and Richard Ashworth. The contest was
arranged for last fall, but was postponed
On account of the inclement weather.
Both gentlemen are reputed athletes and
the race promises to be a spirited affair,
as well as quite a novelty. The distance
is n seldom mentioned for a foot race i n
this section, the altitude rendering it
almost impossible to maintain speed for a
mile. OF course Messrs. Stevens and
Ashworth have trained for the event and
will doubtlessly cover the distance in fast
time.

duced, it is the general impression that
the trial cannot result in a conviction.
Though there were ten witnesses to the
killing, no two agree as to the manner in
which the murder was committed. One
man has sworn hat Linn threatened to
use up the deceased; another declares
that the shooting was entirely accidental,
while a third firmly believes that the
gambler and would-be prize fighter ter
minated the existence of an ~inoffensive
old man In an effort to save his own life.
At the time of the tragedy it was gen
orally understood that Linn, as a drunken
freak. had fired into a dance hall where a
crowd was assembled, and that the death
of Parks had been the result of the reck-
less act.
Linn, who bore the reputation of being
a desperate, was arrested by Malcomb
Campbell and landed in the Albany coun-
ty jail. He escaped at the time of the
delivery in September, but was recaptured
in Omaha and returned to his old quar-.
tiers,

c. & N. TRACK.
Two and . Half Miles of 1t Yet Uncom.
pIeted.

Early IN Saturday evening last the first
train ran over the bridge across the North
Platte river on the Cheyenne & Northern
railroad, l22 miles from Cheyenne. Harry
Millyard was the engineer in charge of the
engine that drew the train and James
Duffey was the conductor.
The foregoing is from the columns of
The LEADERS morning contemporary.
With the exception that the first train
was not run over the bridge on Saturday
evening, that Harry Millyard was not the
engineer in charge of the engine which
drew the train, and that James Duffey
was not the conductor, the paragraph is
otherwise substantially correct.
As a matter Of fact the first train was
taken across the Platte river bridge at BIC
p. IN. on Friday last with Andrew Harvey
as engineer and Mr.. Elliott as conductor.
The train consisted of sixteen cars loaded
with material with which to bald a Y on
the opposite side of the stream. The
81 detrack will be ready to receive ship,
ments from the stockyards to day. Before
the completion of the contract which vii
give the Cheyenne & Northern the fna'
$50, 600 IN bonds, there is yet two and 0
half miles of track to lay. OF this dis,
tan3e one mile still remains to be graded
and this work is expected to occupy about
three weeks in its completion. No track
will be laid until the grade is finished.

CAN THIS BE TRUEt
A Traveller Tells OF a Decided Novelty
at Lusk.

A gentleman who arrived from Lusk
last evening says: When l was in the
village formerly owned by Mccoy, Trum-
Bile, Red Bill and others. | CHANGED to
drop into a resort one evening where sew
eral men in their shirt sleeves were sitting
around a table with the orthodox slit in
the center, engaged in a sociable game OF
draw. That an abrasion indicating the
presence of a six-shooter was visible near
the middle of the waistband of the panta-
looms of each goes without saying.
When | noticed that the seam on the
right side of the vest of each player was
ripped to within a couple of inches of the
armhole, my natural curiosity was aroused.
| at once jumped to the conclusion that
tailors and seamstresses were very scarce
in hat region and ascribed the presence
of the rents partly to this cause and part
ly to the oarelessness of the men. Then
| reasoned that every man would not
allow his raiment to become shabby or
torn, and concluded to submit the vexa
tious problem to the cross eyed bartender.
That individual unhesitatingly furnished
me with a solution as surprising as the
idea is original and unique. After light
ing a fresh cigarette he said: That's a
style introduced here by Tuck Jester,
Quint Pennick and other Texas boys
Every man who wears a gun regularly
has his vest fixed in hat style so that
nothing will interfere In case he wants to
draw in a hurry l don't presume that
either New York or London tailors are
cognizant of the fact, but nevertheless it
is undoubtedly the latest improvement in
the vest line. That the innovation an
swers the purpose for which it was in
tended is very evident.

The grader is in the act of unloading a
scraper when the 6 o'clock whistle blows;
it still contains about three tablespoonfuls
of earth; will he complete the task? Not
much. You can safely wager the Della
ware block against a telephone pole that
he will u%nloose the weary steeds from the
vehicle at once and hasten to camp.

TO BE TRIED TONIGHT.
The Actions ofa school Teacher to be
Investigated.

L smell a rat; l see him floating in the
air; L will nip him in the bud" tragically
GRATED a member of the Wyoming legisla-
ture during an investigation of the alleged
misconduct Of a fellow lawmaker several
years ago. The ambiguous utterance was
about the first thing whioh occurred to a
reporter the other day when he observed
a trio OF school directors engaged in ear
nest conversation When this spectacle is
presented and no regular meeting is to be
held for several months, it is not unnatu-
raj to surmise hat something is in the
wind"

body yesterday afternoon.

Will there be a session OF the directors

Yes, tomorrow night"

That's right
Are you at liberty to divulge the sub
iect which will come up for considera-
tion?"
No, sir; | can say nothing except that
charges have been preferred against a
teacher and will be investigated"
The last reply put the reporter on the
scent. After cautiously preaching the

man most concerned was finally reached.
From him it was learned that the precep-
tor whose fair name is involved presides
over a school about seven miles west of
the city. The reputation of the lady
has been assailed and the existing state
of affairs brought about by a
rather peculiar chain of circum
stances. Several days ago she attended
a dance given at a ranch near the city and
caused the tongues of venemous scandal
mongers to wag by actions said to have
been entirely at variance with established
rules of etiquette. As is always the case
in such matters the gossip travelled rap
idly. Wien the report reached the ears
of the gentleman with whom she was
boarding and whose children attend the
school, he, in a Polite note, requested her
to seek quarters elsewhere, and asked the
trustees that she be removed and another
instructor installed in her position.
The school directors, acting upon a rec
ognlzed precedent, decided that the lady
should have a hearing. The trial will
occur this evening. Other charges of a
more serious nature have been made
against the lady, but are not deemed
worthy of repetition.
The gentleman who precipitated the
trouble states that so far as he is person.
ally aware of the status of affairs every
thing is as it should be; that his present
position is assumed on account of his
children.

rumors concerning her had doubtlessly
been set afoat by those envlous OF her
social standing and success as a teacher.

HE RAISED HER BEAUTIFUL HAND TO HIS LIPS.
"What Is it?" asked Bernardino, stepping
forward and taking the master by the hands.

The next morning, when Bernardino en-
now famous % queen of Of the Gs Lilies ~ seemed Ito to
smile down upon him from her pedestal. A
second glance disclosed to him that her hair,
eyes and lips, all of which had been color
less marble the night before, were now full
of the color of life. He touched her hand,
Closed clos % over his. Thrilled and | stirred, in
way that was new and bewildering to him,
he raised her beautiful hand to his lips.
Then the woman stepped down from the
pedestal and knelt at his feet. The wreath

as she knelt, was broken in two; Her fin,

tains. You have made me a woman once
more and, as reward, I am all yours"
He believed her, and they were married.
Many who saw her also believed but many
more doubted. At last all but Tornello
swore that she was only the lovely wanton
from the Roman wine room, who made q
ladder of Bernardino's fancy by which she
climbed into better life. Tornello never
would believe this and Bernardino never
knew that it was said. Yet, when he met
her, all his art died within him and love
came in its place.
Years afterward, when he was dead. they
placed his broken wreath of lilies on his
tomb.

SAVED FROM THE TIGER.

His Friend Runs a Bayonet in the Brute
just in Time.
Only few months ago, in India, in a
certain planting district there was no.
torious man-eater. Two gentlemen, A
and B, residing together on an estate, had
lost, besides other employees,two chowke-
bars, or native watchmen, within few
days, and the unfortunate men had been
actually carried off out of the veranda of
the bungalow. A and B, therefore, de-
termined to clothe themselves like ma
tives. and sit during the night, armed, in
the veranda, in the hope they might be
able to get shot at the man eater, who,
they thought, might probably return to
the spot which had already provided him
with two victims.
They proceeded to carry out this in
tention, and sat up till about two or
three o'clock A. NJ, but nothing ap-
peared. A then said that he should not
stay up any longer, as he did not believe
the animal would come but B announced
his intention of waiting half an hour
longer by himself. There were large
windows opening down to the floor of
the veranda, and through one of these A
retired, and after entering his room, had
just closed the window, and was gazing
out for an instant, when he saw dark
mass land in the veranda, right on to his
friend, then heard sounds of scuffle
and cry for help. Seizing his rifle, to
which sword bayonet was attached,
and flinging up the window, he rushed
out, in time to see B walking down the
steps that lead up to the veranda along
side of the tiger, with his hand in the
latter's mouth.
A was afraid to fire lest he should hit
his friend, so, running after him, he, with
admirable presence Of mind, went up to
the tiger, and, plunging his bayonet into
the animals body, at the same instant
fired. There were roar and scuffle,
and B took advantage of the moment to
release his hand, and the tiger, after
tumbling, died. BIS hand was terribly
mauled.-L0ndon Court Journal

A CUBAN HOTEL.
Furniture and Arrangements That Are
Curi0ua tn STRANGERS.

Furniture and Arrangements That Are
Curious to Strangers.
A Cuban hotel is curiosity to strang-
ers. The dining-rooms here face the
street, and they are as open as though no
wall separated them from it. The Office
counter and the writing table or writing
room are at the end of the dining-rOom,
and eating; writing and business go
on inside of the same walls. This room,
is no confusion. The dining tables are
of all sizes, SO that one can dine alone or
q party of dozen or more can eat!their
table d'hote together. As to decoration,
the brightest of colors are used in the
interior painting of the hotel, ,and in
some room frescoes prevail. Red and
floors of the chambers and halls are
paved in marble and red tile. / write
this letter in my bedroom. There Is no
plaster on the ceilings Of these hotels,
and the great rafters above me are as
the bluest sky. The windows are almost
as large as the side of the room, and they
are kept open day and night. The bed Is
of iron, and the mattress was never made
of feathers. A frame work extends on
every Cuban bed, and we sleep in cages
of coarse lace like that used for cheap
curtains at home. Most of the Cuban
beds have no mattresses. The sheets are
stretched ON wire springs, and General
Brice told me he had great trouble be-
cause the sheet, which was not bigger
than napkin, would work out from
under him, and leave his bare legs upon
the naked wire. The rest of the wood
work of this room is ss blue % the raft
ers and every room seems to have its
own bright color.-HaoanG Letter.

Oft see you sitting there,
Blue eyes, in that wicker chair,
Twilight on your yellow hair,
Dorothy!
Knitting, knitting all the time,
Humming some remembered rhyme,
Till the Dutch clocks merry chime
Called to tea.

Dimly seen through memory's haze
Rise to view.

And the school house on the hill,
Tender thoughts still come at will,
Sweet of you!

Must be snowy now, and yet,
should know you if we met,
By your eyes.

Ruddy lips just made to WOO
Such a prize!

Well, I'm getting old I dare
Say, yet your sweet auburn hair
And black eyes forgotten meier,
